Homelite Chainsaws

A Super EZ will pull a 20" bar?

Not very well but with light pressure and paying attention to engine speed he strolled slowly thru a 20" maple log.

He now wears a NOS Homie 14" hardnose. Thanks Mo.Jim:msp_biggrin:

The 102 is now a runner and got his 20" bar back from the squirt. Got too late to do a test cut.

I'm putting the squirt on Craigslist as a 20" climbing saw.:msp_rolleyes:

Warding off any Mac. attack.

Everything an XL-12 was intended to be at less weight and bulk.

Heres a better pic of my XL-921

Sorry for the crappy pic guys. Heres a MUCH better one. I actually got this sucker running with just a shot of mix and fresh fuel. Piston is halfway roached and the seals are shot. Belive it or not this sucker still runs good for such low of compression. Leaking air very bad tho. I will post a video of it sometime but I won't cut anything with it. After that vid it is gonna be set on the shelf to retire. View attachment 306990

Some yummy old stuff.

What is the Wards/Remington in the bottom right corner?

What model Echo?

I just acquired a 550 today for $40.00. The bad is it needs a muffler. Does anyone have one or know where I can find one? Do these saws run pretty strong? Thanks -Alex

Muffler? Screw the muffler. Put a tuned pipe on it.

Now that's what I'm talking about... nice saws in that pile! Have not seen a rubber grip like that on a Homelite XL... good thinking.

Lol it was a bike grip. I cut it off thought it looked stupid.

PL-5 and the later SL-11 are good saws. A good one will have 140-160 psi. The SL-11 will have a compression release.


Wards sold more Remingtons than actual Remington dealers sold or so it seems.

Back to Homelite content.

Bar from Mo.Jim looks good on him.

3/8" standard chain. Couldn't see using Lo-Pro since he would pull a 22" bar.

lowpro chain on a super EZ

I have several super mini/EZ saws and I was wondering if it's possible to run lowpro chain like Oregon 91 which is 3/8 instead of the Oregon 72, or similar, which is usually on the saws. It would make a narrower cut which might be more efficient and easier for the saw to pull. I don't really want to get into changing sprockets and bars, just wondering.

Thanks,

If you have a hard nose bar seems it is not a big issue. Most were running rims on the clutch end. Try it and let us know.

I don't know if the kerff would be wide enough for the guide bar

Bingo. My S E-Z AOW came to me with a loop of 3/8-lopro safety chain on it. Chain drivers and spur sprocket were both chewed up. The driver and sideplate height on LoPro is different than 'regular' 3/8 pitch chain.

I also had info that most bars are around 3/16" .1875" thick. Based on the above thread there should be plenty of room.
